Chris Coffee Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I have been reading a lot on coils and to be honest I am a little confused. I get the impression that the bigger the coil, the deeper it goes. But on the other side of that token, I have also heard that a bigger coil for my Eureka is not going to give me any more depth. Unfortunately, I spent a lot of money last year on guns that I never use, long before I got into prospecting, and now that I want to get rid of the guns to help fund one of the GP or GPX model Minelab's, I can't seem to find buyers for them. So I am stuck having to use the VLF detector for now. It is a good machine, but obviously I need to step up into the PI domain to really have a chance at finding anything decent at depth. So are there any suggestions for a coil that will give me a little more depth without losing TOO much stability? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YellowFever Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 The only bigger coil that will work for that unit is a Coiltek 15" DD WOT coilI have one for my unit its a great coil but keep in mind that a larger coil on a VLF unit will never give you the depth of a PI machine.my advice to you is to save and find a older used PI unit, this is what I have done.
